Overall yes, much of the sun's volume is gaseous material which is much lighter than the rock and metal that the earth is composed of.

The density of Earth is 5.56 g/cm3 whereas the sun is 1.4 g/cm3 the earth is the most dense object in our Solar System (as far as we know)

Which planet's sun rays are seven times stronger than earth's?

Venus has sun rays that are seven times stronger than Earth's due to its dense atmosphere that traps heat and creates a greenhouse effect.


Is the sun more dense than air?

It depends on what part of the sun you sample. On average, yes. The average density of the sun is about 1.4 times the density of water, more than 1,000 times denser than air. The outermost part of the sun is far lass dense than air while the core is far denser than even the densest substances on Earth.


Describe two ways that the earth is different from the sun?

The earth is smaller, cooler, greener, wetter, less massive, and more dense than the sun. It emits less electromagnetic radiation, and rotates on its axis 30 times as fast as the sun.

What does it mean when it says more than 1 million to sit inside the sun but the some mass is only about 300000 times the mass of how is that possible?

The sun's mass is about 333,000 or about one third of a million times that of Earth, but the sun's volume is about 1.3 million times that of Earth. In other words, the sun is less dense than Earth. Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object, not its size.

No, Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth.


Is the earth denser or less denser than water?

Yes. There is a bit of debate concerning the density of our local star, but a figure of about 1.4 grams per millilitre is good. The density of water, as you probably know, is 1 g/ml, so the sun is about 1.4 times as dense as water. The density of the sun will vary, and it is going to be more dense in the core than farther from its center, and you probably guessed that, too.
